Former Democratic presidential candidate Jim Webb told the World Affairs Council in Dallas on Wednesday that he will not run for president as an independent.

"I have reluctantly concluded that in my case…we are not able to put together the kind of funding that would help us to get on the ballots in all the states," Webb said, according to the Dallas Morning News.
